What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles in R&D, control or power operations where I can apply hands-on prototyping, PLC/SCADA expertise, and cross-functional leadership to deliver robust products and reliable plant performance.

I am a registered engineer with Pakistan Engineering Council and over five years of experience across power and industrial sectors, focused on control, design, operation and maintenance.

Currently I work as an R&D Engineer at PAF CRDC, where I design products, develop test plans, prototype with 3D printing, and work with RF/Microwave, SDRs, RFSoC and FPGA-based hardware.

Previously I served as an Electrical & Instrumentation Engineer and Operations/Shift Incharge in hydropower and industrial plants, responsible for PLC/HMI commissioning, SCADA operations, O&M, troubleshooting, and team supervision.

I bring strong software and tooling skills (C#, MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Proteus), hands-on PLC/SCADA/VFD experience, and a practical, efficiency-focused approach to R&D and field operations.
